Earlier this month, the Wi-Fi Alliance’s Wi-Fi Certified 6 certification program became available, which is meant to ensure high standards are met for products’ security and interoperability. Wi-Fi Certified 6 serves as an inflection point for broader adoption of Wi-Fi 6, according to Kevin Robinson, VP of marketing for the Wi-Fi Alliance in a previous interview, noting Wi-Fi 6 is focused on the aggregate network of performance not just speed.“Although the WBA has been driving the adoption of Wi-Fi 6, with deployment guidelines and field trials, we were ourselves surprised at the scale of support that Wi-Fi 6 already has,” said Tiago Rodrigues, CEO of the WBA, in a statement. “When such a large proportion of service providers and technology vendors have the technology in their short-term roadmap, it means that Wi-Fi 6 will very quickly become part of the landscape for service providers, enterprises and consumers.”The FCC last year proposed rules to open up new opportunities for unlicensed use in portions of the 6 GHz band, while protecting current users like public utilities and public safety. However some, including industry group CTIA, have pushed back against designating a full 1200 megahertz of spectrum for unlicensed use and argued instead for a spectrum sharing regime that includes licensed, flexible use in the upper portion of the band.“Certainly, if Wi-Fi 6 at 6 GHz gets more channels that are 160 MHz wide, this will enable many more simultaneous users to transmit and receive data at very fast speeds. Wi-Fi 6 will enable new use cases for industrial IoT, smart homes and support for high-density deployments, to name a few, but access to wider channels is needed to support these new use cases,” said WBA Chairman JR Wilson in the report, speaking about the significance to the Wi-Fi industry of extending unlicensed use to the 6 GHz band.While sometimes seen as competing technologies, groups including WBA are working on efforts to ensure 5G and Wi-Fi 6 play nice. With the growing trend of convergence between 5G and Wi-Fi 6, WBA and Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance in September stressed the importance and outlined techniques to bridge technology gaps at the network and RAN layers. -- ???????? | |||
